Hi Matt,

One slight enancement to consider. If you make the file which contains
the build number look like this:

=====8><--------------------------------------------------------------
# This is the current build number of the latest build
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it is updated automagically
# by the build process.

BUILDNUMBER=6
=====8><--------------------------------------------------------------

Then the file can be included by make (in case you want to include the
build number in part of a generated filename) or similarly it can be
sourced by a shell script.
